CAIRO, EGYPT Cairo, the largest city in Africa and the Middle East ever since the Mongols wasted Imperial Baghdad in year 1258. Cairo had been acknowledge as Umm Dunya or “Mother of the World” by Arab's medieval and as Great Cairo by nineteenth-century Europeans. Egypt has been the prize for conquerors from Alexander the Great to Rommel, so Cairo has been a fulcrum of power in the Arab world from the Crusades unto the present day. Egyptians have two names for the city, which is ancient and popular while the other is Islamic and official. The most important is Masr, which means both the capital and the land of Egypt (Egypt City), a city that endlessly renews itself and dominates the nation, an idea rooted in paranoic civilization. 'Masr' refers to a homeland, at which within its borders means the capital, is what the Egyptians abroad define as. Masr is timeless. Earlier travelers noted that Cairo's air smelt like “hot bricks”. The air pollution there is kind of high chiefly caused by traffics. Other than that, extended-family values and neighbourly intervention prevail throughout the baladi quarters or urban villagers at which milions of first and second generation rural migrants live, whilst arcane structures underpin life in Islamic Cairo. That is a bit less I can talk bout Cairo in Egypt.
